🎾🏏 Why overhead sports put your lower back at risk?

In overhead sports like tennis, cricket, and golf, the lower back is exposed to extreme forces, especially during high-speed movements. A tennis serve, for example, combines leaning back, side bending, and twisting, placing loads on the lumbar spine that can be many times greater than running.

Over time, repeated exposure to these forces can overload spinal tissues, particularly if movement control, strength, or recovery aren’t adequate. As our sports physio, Molly Connolly explains, lower back pain in overhead athletes is rarely about just one moment — it’s often about how the spine is loaded again and again.

Physiotherapy can help by assessing movement patterns, improving strength and control, and guiding smarter load management to protect your spine while you perform at your best.

Labral tear? Rehab comes first.

Most shoulder labral tears (70–85%) recover well with physiotherapy, load management and targeted rehab — not surgery.

Rehab focuses on restoring strength, control and confidence in the shoulder. Surgery is only considered when instability or pain persists despite good rehab.

Diagnosing a labral tear isn’t as simple as getting a scan.

Shoulder labral tears often look the same as other shoulder problems, and many people (especially over 40) have labral tears on MRI with no pain at all.

🕵️‍♂️ That’s why diagnosis is more like detective work:
• A detailed history of how symptoms started
• Hands-on testing of movement, strength & stability
• Scans used only when truly needed

👉 Our latest blog by Sports Physio Andrew Vetter explains why clinical assessment matters more than imaging, and how labral tears are properly identified. Read the full blog to learn more.

🦶 Not all ankle injuries are the same.

If you feel pain at the front or outside of your ankle, notice swelling or bruising near the lower shin, or experience a sudden pop or sense of instability, this may be a syndesmosis (high ankle) injury.

These injuries often make it painful to put weight through the ankle, especially when stepping forward, and in some cases, crutches are needed early on. Our sports physio, Andrew Vetter explains that because syndesmosis injuries can involve surrounding ligaments and bones, they often need a different rehab approach than a typical ankle sprain.

Early assessment is key to getting the right diagnosis, avoiding prolonged recovery, and returning to sport safely.

Think you might have a shoulder labral tear? The symptoms aren’t always obvious.

Labral tears can feel very different from person to person, and often overlap with other shoulder conditions. Some develop slowly with little pain, while others cause sharp pain or a feeling the shoulder isn’t stable.

The graphic above highlights some of the common symptoms!

Because these symptoms can mimic other shoulder issues, a scan alone doesn’t give the full picture.

👉 Our latest blog by Sports Physio Andrew Vetter explains how labral tears are identified, what these symptoms really mean, and when treatment is needed. Read the full blog to learn more.

Not all labral tears are the same, and that matters.

There are different types of shoulder labral tears, and each can feel different and be managed differently.

🔹 SLAP tears – common in overhead and throwing activities, often causing pain, clicking or weakness at the top/front of the shoulder
🔹 Bankart / Reverse Bankart lesions – often linked to shoulder dislocations and feelings of instability or “slipping”
🔹 Posterior labral tears – less common, usually felt as deep pain or catching during pushing or rotational movements
🔹 Degenerative labral tears – very common on scans, often painless, and frequently a normal part of shoulder ageing

Understanding which type matters, and why scans don’t always tell the full story - is explained in our latest blog by Sports Physio Andrew Vetter.

🏋️‍♂️ Strong shoulders need control, not just mobility.

The shoulder is one of the most mobile joints in the body, and that mobility relies heavily on the muscles surrounding it. These muscles constantly work together to control movement while keeping the joint stable. When that balance is lost, pain and injury can follow.

That’s why as our sports physio, Tyler Cultum explains, effective shoulder rehab and training must focus on joint control as well as strength through range, not just stretching or isolated exercises.

'This approach is something I learned first-hand during my own shoulder rehab after a rotator cuff injury as a teenager. With the right exercise-based physiotherapy, I restored full movement, rebuilt strength, and avoided surgery, an experience that shaped how I practise today.

Whether you’re rehabbing an injury or trying to prevent one, smart strength training is key to long-term shoulder health.' You can find more details in the linked blog!
